Biography

Masashi Hamauzu (濱渦正志; Hamauzu Masashi), born September 20, 1971 in Munich, Germany, is a video game music composer who has worked for Square Enix for nearly a decade. He is currently touring the world with his band Imeruat, fronted by singer Mina Sakai, who sang on four tracks on the FF13 soundtrack. Hamauzu wrote the music for, and plays piano in, Imeruat. Their first CD Black Ocean is out now on Itunes and Amazon MP3.

Hamauzu’s start with the company came by creating a small handful of tracks (along with other composers) for Front Mission: Gun Hazard (1996) and Tobal No. 1 (1996). Later collaborations would include Final Fantasy X (2001) (with Nobuo Uematsu and Junya Nakano) and Musashi: Samurai Legend (2005) (with Junya Nakano, and Takayuki Iwai & Yuki Iwai of Wavelink Zeal).

His solo works include Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon (1997), SaGa Frontier 2 (1999), UNLIMITED: SaGa (2002), and Dirge of Cerberus: Final Fantasy VII (2006). Hamauzu provided the entire score of Final Fantasy XIII in 2009, and returned for its sequel, XIII-2 in 2011.

Hamauzu has also produced arranged albums for a few of his works, including Chocobo’s Mysterious Dungeon ~Coi Vanni Gialli~ and Piano Pieces “SF2” Rhapsody on a Theme of SaGa Frontier 2. He also prepared the piano arrangements for Final Fantasy X Piano Collections and Yasunori Mitsuda’s Sailing to the World Piano Score.

    I don't care what shit anyone wants to sling at XIII, his compositions alone made the game worth playing. [5]

    XIII is a bit of a joke, but anything's an improvement over XII, I guess.
